Installation is simple on Windows, OSX, and Linux, even for Python novices.
To get started with Python on any platform, download and install Anaconda. It comes with the common scientific Python packages built in.
Open a command prompt. On Windows, you can use the “Anaconda Command Prompt” installed by Anaconda or Start > Applications > Command Prompt. On a Mac, look for Applications > Utilities > Terminal. Type these commands:
conda update conda
conda install -c tacaswell scikit-xray
The above installs scikit-xray and all its requirements. Our tutorials also use the IPython notebook. To install that as well, type
conda install ipython-notebook
Finally, to try it out, type
ipython notebook
This will automatically open a browser tab, ready to interpret Python code. To get started, check out the links to tutorials at the top of this document.
We strongly recommend using conda install scikit-xray, as described above, but pip is also supported.
Essential Dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/Nikea/scikit-xray
pip install -e scikit-xray
The code is under active development. To update to the latest stable release, run this in the command prompt:
conda update -c tacaswell scikit-xray
